I managed to get my bizhawk working again and to celebrate i TASed the Heidern strategy for KOF94.
Heidern moon blade has much more damage when counter hitting and even more with MAX gauge filled. Heidern can also whiff a moon blade to enhance the damage of a command grab SEVERELY, one of his glitches(the grab takes the damage from the moon blade), and also whiff a command grab to cancel a normal move as long as the command grab is slightly off distance and doesn't connect.
Unfortunately, command grab infinites are very slow and not useful for the tool assisted speedrun.
With these glitches, you can see how different is the HP for each enemy. I tried using a super to finish Rugal but it didn't cause enough damage so i just used a command grab to finish the fight.
POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS:
RNG and I didn't use the multitap also called ABC cancels in this TAS, i believe they would get a few seconds in a few matches but not enough for me to redo the whole thing.

CoolHandMike: Claiming for judging.
CoolHandMike: Please respond to my comment in discussion.
CoolHandMike: This is quite fast and Heidern is a great choice against computer opponents using these techniques in a tas setting. The damage is quite impressive per hit with that Moon Blade attack. There looks like there could possibly be other techniques to deal more damage, but it would need to be investigated further and at this point there is no clear way to get close to those results faster. For further info look in the Discussion.
Accepting to Standard.
Good job!

So looking at this [TAS]ARCADE The King of Fighters '94-Heidern video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LUvJqxESzc, it it showing how Heidern can kill in one hit if he has full power. Another one hit kill video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UqOpzs9rPA Have you tested this out? The player gets a 52 timer finish even with playing very relaxed and walking everywhere. In some fights you are finishing with 53 left on the timer too so there should be some improvement possible.

The video has hacks, but it means I’ll have to test if the moon blade after the grab does more damage or if the low health also affects damage somehow… obviously thr max meter buffs damage but not that much…
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

Check the second video as well. That one has full health and does an ohko.

Doing moon blade after the grab isn't enhancing grab damage at all ! i'm doing it frame perfect. This might have some other way to be done which i'm unskilled to do right now, but this is a hard game to research because a lot is in japanese or chinese. Low health actually is a damage multiplier as well, i sent some tests to CoolHandMike on Discord, but it's not a perfect damage multiplier, sometimes less damage is caused by the glitched command grab. The best i got was an almost instakill with low health, 1 MB, MAX power, however lowering life is really hard for going fast because you heal between fights, i'm pretty sure for some characters it would be an instakill though. The problem with killing enemies fast is you get a lot of health back so i'm not considering redoing the TAS just for trying to get my health super low in all fights. You'd need to lose time fast to regain. While we know the video is hacked, it's pretty clear that low health would actually be really interesting benefit for faster rounds, but it would have to be integrated without losing time.
